Objective Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes infertility in male patients through erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory dysfunction, semen and hormone abnormalities. Oxidative stress (OS) is involved in poor semen quality and subsequent infertility in males with SCI. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of SCI on the level of testosterone hormone.

Background : Lipoid pneumonia is a rare disease and usually reported as sporadic cases. Exogenous lipoid more common form of pneumonia. Untypical characteristics makes incidence rate this cases are often imprecise. The diagnosis made from history lipid containing material aspiration, radiologic imaging, histopathological examination. There no treatment choice because rarely made.
 Case Rep...

The past three decades of policy process studies have seen the emergence a clear intellectual lineage with regard to complexity. Implicitly or explicitly, scholars employed complexity theory examine intricate dynamics collective action in political contexts. However, methodological counterparts theory, such as computational methods, are rarely used and, even if they are, often detached from est...

We describe a general approach to modeling rational decision-making agents who adopt either quantum or classical mechanics based on the Quantum Bayesian (QBist) theory. With additional ingredient of scheme by which properties one agent may influence another, we arrive at flexible framework for treating multiple interacting and agents. present simulations in several settings illustrate our const...

The anti-senescence biogenic polyamines (PAs) putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd) and spermine (Spm) are involved in plant growth processes and responses to stress. The physiological mechanism of exogenous Put to affect the senescence of cut lisianthus flowers during vase life was investigated. Fresh cut lisianthus flowers were treated with distilled water (control), 0.5, 1 and 2 mM Put and then...

Background: With the recent development of recombinant gonadotropins (FSH and LH), it has become possible to further adjust the stimulation protocol according to the expected needs of the patient. In this respect, the possible beneficial role of exogenous LH activity supplementation for stimulated ART cycles has received increasing attention. According to the two-cell, two- gonadotropin theory,...

objective(s):althoughroutinely applied in assisted reproductive technology, human sperm cryopreservation is not a completely successful procedure. adverse effects of cryopreservation on the fertilization capacity, motility, morphology, and viability of spermatozoa have been proven; cryopreservation has also shown a role in sperm dna fragmentation and infertility. the post-thaw survival of sperm...

We exploit the exogenous variation in peer groups generated by high school to college transitions to study the theoretical predictions of Battaglini, Bénabou and Tirole’s (2005) model of self-control in peer groups. As predicted by this theory, we find a non-linear, hump-shaped impact of peer similarity on individual self-control.
